Star Wars Resistance gets a UK premiere date

The first episode of Star Wars Resistance will air in the UK this Saturday on Disney XD.

Star Wars Resistance, the new animated series from Lucasfilm, has already launched in the USA and will start airing in the UK this week. On Saturday, October 13, DisneyXD will air “The Recruit”, a special double length episode, at 9.29am. For those who prefer a later rise on a Saturday, the episode will re-run at 5pm in the afternoon.

The new television series is set in the years prior to The Force Awakens, introducing new characters such as Kazuda Xiono and Torra Doza, while featuring cameos from movie characters including Poe Dameron, BB-8 and Captain Phasma.

Here is the official synopsis for the first episode:

Resistance fighter Poe Dameron tasks young pilot Kazuda “Kaz” Xiono with spying on the First Order. At the time, little was known about the secretive organization and its strength.

In order to fulfill his mission, Kaz travels to the space station Colossus, which is being used by many ships as a port to refuel and do repairs. However, there are also dangerous races taking place there. After Kaz bragged with his piloting skills at his arrival there, he is soon drawn into one of the races…

LEGO sets based on the series are expected to launch in January 2019. Current LEGO Star Wars sets are available now from shop.LEGO.com.
